They have photocopiable worksheets and a good clear explanation of how to use each activity. They follow a very logical developmental process from complete beginner stage onwards. My ESL students always enjoy doing these activities, and they generate a lot of good focused interaction. If you ring or fax ARIS they can send you a brochure about them.
